Thatcham Musical Theatre Choir are set to perform alongside Gareth Malone at the Oxford Playhouse.

The choir formed in September 2023, is celebrating its first anniversary with a series of performances, including 'Sing-Along-a-Gareth: My Life Through Song' on November 12.

Guided by ex-West End performer and vocal coach Jamie Read, has quickly grown to over 50 members.

The choir will sing west-end hits for the performance.

Mr Read said: "The thing I'm most proud of is the wonderful sense of community that we've built together.

"We sing together, which is amazing for everyone's connection, health and wellbeing, but we also socialise together and have made friendships that extend outside of the rehearsals as well."

The group will also perform at Thatcham Fest-Off on October 12 and has further dates lined up for Thatcham Christmas Lights, the Reading Lantern Parade, and the Highclere Castle Christmas events.
